I had this problem, plus this in dmesg:
ndiswrapper (load_driver:1829): unable to prepare driver
I made a symlink from /usr/sbin to /sbin for loadndisdriver and it fixed it.
ln -s /sbin/loadndisdriver /usr/sbin/loadndisdriver
I'm not sure what the kernel lockup is, but my lucent 56k modem used to do something like that if I didn't have "apic" in the kernels configuration. Note: apic, is NOT acpi. It's under processor type and features in make menuconfig. If you unselect the symetric multiprocessor support.
You might also try ndiswrapper -m and update-modules, depending on your distro. Some have found luck by removing all mentions of ndiswrapper from modules.conf. You might also check /var/log/messages for any errors there as well. You should have the wireless options in the kernel as well.

CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y

Yes i have both, without them you have unresolved symbol (error that i have
yesterday) on modprobe.
Thanks for your help, but still doesn't work :(
4 motn ago i have try this card with ndiswrapper and it worked, but i don't
remember ndiswrapper version i used, and i was on another distrib version.

If you unpacked the driver-package and run ndiswrapper -i it should
work, but if you have copied the .inf and .sys manually it might not
work.
If you did the former there is a bug in the ndiswrapper script and I
would like to have a look at your driver package so we can fix the bug.

I have just uncompress a .cab in a folder and launch ndiswrapper -i. I can
send you the .cab if you wish (i send it where? here on the list???)
Some news: i got a crash with 0.8 too :( I think all was working but no.
Crash is similar than with 0.9 or 0.10. The only thing is than with 0.8
driver is loaded:
Aug 24 21:34:01 gateway kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.8 loaded
Aug 24 21:34:01 gateway kernel: ndiswrapper adding bcmwl5.sys
Aug 24 21:34:01 gateway kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19
(level, low) -> IRQ 177
Aug 24 21:34:01 gateway kernel: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device
00:30:bd:f6:51:a7 using driver bcmwl5.sys
I can config with iwconfig, but it crash on ifconfig.

Hi Serge!
From the INSTALL file:
3. Load module
--------------
To load the module type
> modprobe ndiswrapper.
If you get no error the driver should now be loaded. You can verify
this by checking system log (produced by 'dmesg'). If the driver is
loaded
successfully, you should see a message:
ndiswrapper version <version> loaded
If you have windows drivers installed earlier (with ndiswrapper -i
<inffile>)
successfully, ndiswrapper module will load them all. You should then see
the following messages in system log:
ndiswrapper: driver <driver1> added
...
for each of the driver1, .... If you don't these messages, it usually
means
that there are no (usable) drivers installed in /etc/ndiswrapper
directory.
Check if /etc/ndiswrapper directory has one sub-directory for each
driver
and in each driver's directory, there are inf, sys and conf files.
Otherwise,
you may need to repeat step 2.
